Suggested correction: And Sawyer is a conman who tells people what they want to hear. Saying he's got an extra 20k is no big deal to someone like Sawyer who is conning people out of 150k+.

Hearts and Minds - S1-E13

Continuity mistake: When Sayid opens the lid of the compass to show Jack, in the close-up, all of Sayid's fingernails are short and trimmed, yet, in previous and following shots (including next episode "Special") some of his fingernails (such as the thumbs) are very long again.

Pilot (1) - S1-E1

Continuity mistake: In the very beginning of the pilot episode, Jack runs out of the jungle. He looks around and hears distant screams. While he is looking around, you can see through the bushes that there is nothing but beach on the other side. But when he turns around, the entire beach just on the other side of that bush is filled with wreckage. The wreckage would have been visible from the other side of the bush had it been there.
